Fantastic video quality too. No annoying music, great explanation, good audio quality. Really nice to watch

[@VRKommando]

Thanks : )

You might be the best vr content creator on youtube, informative, stright to the point, no nonsense.

[@VRKommando]

Thanks, appreciate it : )

[@thomseugene6950]

Thanks to your detailed review, bought adicop A2 Pro.

[@davidmur1300]

I got that triangle shaped rubber backing to fix the back always slipping off on the new M2 with battery pack and worked like a charm. Luckily I had my old one from the original strap.

[@akirariley1381]

Was waiting for this video! Thanks for making it. I had already ordered the BoboVR instead of going for the DAS, its simply so much cheaper. Gonna arrive this week hopefully!

[@MobileDecay]

I got this and luckily it worked perfectly for me out of the box and I just used the included velcro strap to mount the power banks to the back.

[@VRKommando]

Nice, one of the lucky ones

[@MobileDecay]

@@VRKommando Yeah. I still have Bobos old cardboard headset too. I've had good luck with there stuff.

[@kylefair6305]

does that mean the power bank is over the dial? just ordered a strap and trying to figure out the best way to mount a battery. thanks

[@vowelsify]

Thanks! Was wondering how to attach powerbank to m2 and found this vid showing how to add the silicon back pad. I had the silicon thingy lying around so it was a no brainer option. Took me a looooong time trying to pop everything out n putting it back (almost 1hr), but hey, its great now. 😁

[@TheTinyRedDot]

Thanks to your detailed review and guide, just placed an order for the BoboVR M2 :)

[@GrandPoobahRoc]

Screws can be flathead. That is about how the head is shaped (vs a rounded head, called buttonhead screws). A screwdriver isn't flathead, what you want to call it is "slotted." I used to get this one wrong myself until my boss as a field tech beat it into my head.

[@blainehosea6257]

Who cares

[@Partyfreaker]

I compared the bobovr with the official elite strap, and Holy cow the bobovr strap is very heavy! It feels like a whole unit around your head. I'd say the bobovr is good, but i'm still chasing the magical unicorn that will fit my quest even more perfect. I'll buy the elite strap with battery to see if it feels better on my face but i still haven't found something that feels good. The bobovr strap hurts my hair after 4 hours of playing and even my hairdresser noticed that i'm turning bald on the front hairline where the strap is leaning on. The elite strap hurts the front of my face after 1 hour, so 4 hours isn't bad but not worth getting bald for.

[@adamlassiter1296]

Hey did you find one that works?

[@KevinBrooks_c]

A huge thanks for the vid. I found myself maybe having a bigger head then most people, and the pad on the back kept slipping upwards until some point, which makes me feel not safe to move my head comfortably. Bought some items and modded as your "favorite upgrade" and it works like a champ.

[@alexeytrusovru]

Excellent and very useful video! Thanks for a job well done!

[@vandal_ross]

Each to their own, I guess, this strap is the comfiest that I've tried so far, and that's with it at stock!

[@quekvincent5981]

3:59 definitely agreed with u because there's a Happy Face

[@dzenrei]

Thank you! The video helped a lot! I replaced the halo from the first version of BoboVR M2 with a version with a battery. On the new version, halo itself is much worse in quality =(

[@HunterTinsley]

2:42 - LMAO. This makes the headset fit so much better. I can't believe how simple of a fix that is...

[@Urko2005]

Slips up on my head without being upside down.

[@instantvr1495]

Thanks for the details for all the stuff

[@christianc449]

awesome video! just got the bobovr m2 strap in the mail today and was looking for suggestions for a battery holder and carrying case. thanks for the detailed review!

[@violentsense]

From my experience, the best upgrade to BOBOVR M2 is KIWI Design strap.

[@mindweaver4241]

I'm glad you are back!

[@VRKommando]

Eyyyy!

[@t0x1ckookie2]

Best vr content creator and thats a fact

[@Kailtro]

???

[@stephenriggs8177]

I tried an attachment called the RCstyle Simple Quick-Release Pillow for Quest 2. It looks like it would be great, but the strap openings aren't as forgiving as the one you used, and I just could not get those pivot points to fit through. Sad day. Guess I'll try another.

[@Amni3D]

It's weird how a direct competitor for the headstrap is making an upgrade kit for it. Not like I'd complain any :p

[@VRKommando]

lol

[@JuanFunQi]

nice video end up subscribing thanks for this video

[@Vortex-en7fy]

Great vid man, im getting my strap in a couple hours so this is some good timing

[@VRKommando]

Sweet

[@robbieburns3564]

Just got a bobo M2. It's okay nbut it has its flaws. Your video though - it only shows the headstrap in its compressed mode and not in the shape it would be while on a head. The battery attachment looks particularly non-functional if you extend the headset in its normal "on your head" design. I just mounted a velcro pad on the back of a 5800 power bank (it's quite small) and on the dial. I put the headset on my head. adjust the dial, and then attach the battery and attach the wire while its on my head. Takes 6 seconds and it looks great and doesn't have a big battery pressing on your neck.

[@VRKommando]

The video is meant to be more of a guide line, my setup isn't perfect but its a start. I later show my latest optimal setup for me in my F2 review.

[@MnemonicHeadTrip]

This is a great video! I got that triangle shaped head strap pad just as a cheap upgrade to the stock strap, but is doesn’t really fix face pressure issues. I’m hoping this strap will help prevent forehead pressure and such

[@VRKommando]

If your setup is feeling front heavy a powerbank to the reat goes a long way in easing up on the pressure.

[@idankoren]

Regarding the first (aka your favorite) option - you gave a link to the black one but I can't find one to the white thingy (the thing to hang upon the power bank). Can you provide us with a link?

[@VRKommando]

The link is in the description, I renamed it so its more clear. Its the Cup Pad upgrade. Hope this helps : )

[@menix2384]

Interesting vid! I'm actually looking to mod the usual GOMRVR halo strap as the back strap on it is small and puts a lot of pressure on the back of my head Does the TPU headband cup the back of the head better versus the velcro padding one? Latter option reminds me of the similar back thing on the official Elite strap

[@VRKommando]

Hey, I'm actually currently working on the next video which is going to be about the GOMRVR Halo Strap, there I will be talking about the upgrades and how they fair. When you say "Velcro Padding One" you mean the stock pad that comes with the GOMRVR right? Or are you comparing the barebones TPU Cup Pad vs the TPU Cup Pad with padding from Beswin? If its the first one then it yes it does distribute the pressure pretty well, but with the halo strap, it can def use some extra padding to go along with it. I will talk more about it in the video showing all the different options Hope this helps!

[@menix2384]

@@VRKommando Actually was comparing between the two 10$ pad upgrades ya mentioned in the vid, the TPU cup pad vs the velcro headpad cushion. But alright, ill wait for the next vid then!

[@VRKommando]

@@menix2384 Video is out : )

[@mrdummy_nl]

When i have Bobo headset, i noticed the back is weak and it's kinda slippery due used padding that slides too easy. Only with bigger back plate, that will solve the problem for me. Because head shape is for everyone different, this is why Bobo will not hold well for some people due unlucky head shape.

[@senorbonbon]

what did you end up doing? I have the same issue it slids up? what padding should I replace for the back

[@Wescotte1st]

What is the stock strap pad you show at 6:00? Do you know the name/have the link?

[@adamlassiter1296]

Where can I get that foam padding you attached at 3:54. I think that would solve my problem immensely.

[@VRKommando]

This you will either have to buy some cheap sound panels from ebay or aliexpress, sometimes it doesnt have to be sound panels, just search up foam panel and see if you can find any.

[@adamlassiter1296]

@@VRKommando ok thank you

[@adamlassiter1296]

@@VRKommando I just got the foam and placed it on the BOBO, wooooooow. It feels 100 times better. Thank you so much.

Would it be easier to heat them up with a hairdryer before bending them?

[@VRKommando]

Yea you could def do that, if you have a strong enough hair dryer

[@KasperAS83]

I was considering buying this headstrap but seeing how you need to modify it so heavily to make it comfortable has put me off. Why can't they make a simple comfortable headstrap?

[@PizzaCat1732]

I think it is, this is just to make it even more comfortable

[@Urko2005]

@@PizzaCat1732 Its just it slips up the back of my head a bit for me.

[@fahrai4983]

I have the pro version of this with the battery pack and it’s incredibly comfortable without any modifications. I’m not so sure most of these mods are necessary-they look more like custom fitting for a particular person than a requirement.

[@idropsfishyfortnitechamp828]

What is the best quest 2 headstrap? I bought the quest 2 on release and gave it one try and couldn’t use it due to irritation on my head..

[@VRKommando]

M2 + Upgrades or Deluxe Audio Strap If you want to save some money, you can try using the cup upgrade with your stock strap and it will enhance your experience a ton.

[@dkhn9c]

I'm having the toughest time finding a power bank that includes a USB-C cable that is long enough. I got one today, but the cable is only 6 inches, and I'm afraid it won't reach. Did you buy the cable separately?

[@VRKommando]

Yea the cable I used I bought separately, you can get a pack of different sized cables from Amazon or worse case use a normal sized one and just roll it up to be just long enough and tie the extra down with some velcro

[@instantvr1495]

I am going to get the pad upgrade for my thing

i bought this strap and the only thing that i find to be uncomfortable is the 2 plastic head supports... i tried to bend them but im worried i will break the head strap.
